    A, 1,2

    Step-by-step explanation:

    we translate it first into language of math

    we use n for the number

    n² = 3n - 2

    then, do some algebra things

    n² - 3n + 2 = 0

    then factorize it

    (n - 2) (n - 1) = 0

    first n

    n - 2 = 0

    n = 2

    2nd n

    n - 1 = 0

    n = 1

    so n can be 1 or 2
